Abstract: An object is to provide a control device that calculates an intake pipe pressure of an engine, in which the humidity of air is measured, and a change in a gas constant due to a change in the total number of moles of air is corrected, to improve the accuracy of the calculation value of the intake pipe pressure.

Abstract: Fuel injection control of an internal combustion engine requires an optimized fuel amount that can be burned completely with oxygen in intake air to be supplied, but the oxygen concentration in the atmospheric air is affected by humidity. By separately calculating a dry air flow rate that directly affects the oxygen amount and a humidity flow rate that is a change factor of the oxygen concentration in the intake air of the internal combustion engine, the fuel can be supplied to the cylinder of the internal combustion engine at an optimized air-fuel ratio. In addition, highly precise control involving EGR for flowback of a part of the exhaust gas flowing in the exhaust pipe to the intake pipe can also be achieved.

Abstract: An EGR rate estimation method using an EGR valve opening area involves aggravated EGR rate estimation accuracy as an EGR valve is deteriorated and is unable to satisfy required accuracy when a target EGR rate is high. With a method for correcting a fuel injection amount by a fuel injection valve through estimation of a purge air-fuel ratio on the basis of variations in an air-fuel ratio variable depending on whether purging is performed, the fuel injection correction fails to accommodate the change in the air-fuel ratio when concentration of fuel evaporative emissions adsorbed by an activated carbon of a canister is high, resulting in reduced conversion efficiency of a catalyst. An arrangement includes an introduction port that is disposed in an intake pipe and through which a gas other than fresh air flows in the intake pipe and humidity sensors disposed upstream and downstream, respectively, of the introduction port.

Abstract: In internal combustion engines that return exhaust gas branching from downstream section of a turbine to an upstream section of a compressor during exhaust gas return in a supercharged state, the present invention closes an air bypass valve that bypasses the compressor while the vehicle is decelerating, and also opens a wastegate valve that bypasses or diverts gases away from the turbine in order to resolve a phenomenon in which the amount of exhaust gas temporarily increases and the exhaust gas cannot be supplied at a stable target value while the vehicle is decelerating due to the length of the path from the convergence section where the new air meets the EGR, to the cylinder, and due to the opening of the air bypass valve of the air bypass path joining the top and bottom of the compressor during deceleration.

Abstract: Because opening of a flow enhancement valve affects not only a flow but also a flow rate, when the opening of the flow enhancement valve is transiently changed, if an ignition correction control is conducted on the basis of a relationship obtained in a steady operation state of the flow enhancement valve opening and the ignition timing, there occurs such a drawback that the ignition timing is set to a retard side or an advance side of the optimal point.

The device performs knocking control during transient time, on the basis of the estimated transient behavior of the intake pipe temperature.

Abstract: When an updating event occurs, an information management base station unit inquires all the vehicles under its management about the presence or absence of vehicle-mounted control units to be updated.

Abstract: At the start-up of an engine, the ignition timing and the air-fuel ratio are controlled to prevent overload onto the volume of ISC air and decreased torque and torque difference. The fuel condition based on the amount of ignition timing correction to inhibit rotational fluctuation during idling is determined and the fuel quantity based on the result is corrected. Right after an engine has started and until a pilot burner is created in the heat spot of the catalyst, the ignition retard control is mainly executed, and at the time when it is determined that a pilot burner has been created in the catalyst's heat spot, the lean air-fuel ratio control is to be executed instead of the ignition retard control. Furthermore, when the ignition retard control changes to the lean air-fuel ratio control, the state transition control is executed along the equivalent ISC air volume line so as not to cause torque fluctuation.
